I just finished Dark Tide by Stephen Puleo, an account of the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919. I thought it was well done, was able to see his vision of Boston a century ago. What a strange way to die, being crushed and/or suffocating in a molasses tsunami. This industrial accident cost the lives of 21 people.
I'm presently reading Known and Unknown by Donald Rumsfeld. Looking at 9/11 from his harrowing perspective is truly interesting. No way I'm going to read the entire book... at least that's what I thought when I started picking through it. It is very good, yet makes me wistful.
Fiction-wise, I picked up an old copy of Team Yankee by Harold Coyle. I read it 25 yrs ago. I'm enjoying it once again.
